Ramfest

Gigs at Emmerencia dam are always chilled, cool and fun. But Ramfest this year was truly one of the fun-nest things that i have done. It wasn't that it was well organized, because it wasn't, they ran out of beer and space, it wasn't because of the people there, because the jock flock seems to have found a new nesting ground in what used to be a field free of pink golf-shirts and loafers. I think that it was the combination of a perfect day and great music.

Parrow and his cap, Die Heuwels and their lyrics, The Narrow and their mosh-pit-of-doom, Lark and their Inge topped off with Pendulum and their laser show that could melt your face off with pure awesomeness!

I find it funny how when these out-doorsy, open gigs come to town, al the crazies and excentrics crawl out of the woodwork. In the core of just one afternoon i saw a transvestite, three mohawks, two topless girls and a man dressed head-to-toe in leopard print. I know that Joburgers have this rep for being judgmental crowd followers but come on! I challenge any Cape Townian to find something actively un-fun about the people at this concert. Everywhere you looked you could find some for of acceptance and freedom. I only wish that what i saw at this concert could be around more often.

This is one of those occasions that i can undeniably and unequivocally say:

Noddy Badge to you, Ramfest. you rocked.
